Winner of the Prix
Afrique en Creation at Cannes in 1992, this humorous and magical tale is filled with
the sexual antics that enliven a working class neighborhood in Yaounde. A girl takes on
the body of a man and learns the true sexual politics of the men around her. In addition,
the woman who helps her achieve this transformation metamorphoses herself into Panka, a
comic figure who can make a man's penis disappear with a handshake. French with English
subtitles. Cameroon.
80 minutes.
